The wonder of mohair - a free scarf knitting pattern

I had been lusting after this Rowan yarn - kidsilk haze stripe - for quite some time, pondering the fabulous array of colours (thanks to Kaffe Fassett ) and how no two balls looked the same and wondering just how you could make a scarf from one ball. Well you can - here it is!

The colours are amazing, the yarn whilst thin, is incredibly strong and the drape of the mohair is excellent. Rowan have very kindly added a pattern to the reverse of the label, but I wanted to add a little lace into my mohair scarf and designed this alternative pattern - alternating between blocks of lacy rib and moss stitch.
